There was an outstanding effort from Halifax Harriers’ Johanna Sutcliffe, sixth home and first female in 40:19.

Lions also had Leon Severn in eighth and Gareth Knight in 10th. Stefanie Hopkins was third lady. Sandy Gee ran despite having completed 50 miles in The Woldsman the previous day. Clayton Cutter enjoyed it so much, he did a second lap of the course immediately afterwards.

Snails’ David Gee commented on the terrain: “That was one hard race. I’d like to say i enjoyed that but I don’t tell lies. All for a good cause though!”

There were 70 runners in the 5k race and Spenborough & District AC’s Daniel Smith was the first to finish in 22:17.
